Re: Joint physical custody

There are legal documents he can file with the court to have her return the children to the area, if she relocates without court permission. He can try to do on his own, but it is more difficult in Chester County and there are certain forms and procedures to follow. If her move makes the current custody arrangement impossible, we could also file for contempt and request an order for attorneys fees. I practice in Chester County and have a location in Exton or King of Prussia.
